David Felix Sutcliffe
David Felix Sutcliffe co-directed with acclaimed photojournalist Lyric R. Cabral the documentary (T)ERROR, which marks the first time that filmmakers have had access to an active FBI informant in a domestic counterterrorism investigation. The film premiered at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival, where it won a Special Jury Prize for Breakout First Feature. Sutcliffe’s first film, Adama, an hour-long documentary about a 16-year-old Muslim girl from Harlem arrested by the FBI on suspicion of being a “potential suicide bomber,” aired on PBS in 2011. In 2013, he was included in Filmmaker magazine’s annual list of “25 New Faces of Independent Film.”
